Crimes of Paris

[mark_asphodel]

 I'm still in screw-off mode.

"Paris, you pretty boy, you woman seducer.  Why were you ever born?"

This, one of my favorite quotes in E.V. Rieu's prose translation of the Iliad, is Hector's lament over the wayward and aggravating nature of his brother, Paris.

The Trojan Hector and Paris are amusing to me because, links to Sir Ector notwithstanding, FE7's Hector is named, well, Hector.  And Ike's original name was supposed to be Paris.  And, given that Ike was modeled on Hector, that makes him, in a sense, FE7!Hector's little brother.

And since girl-crazy Paris Ike doesn't work for me, I'm now imagining Soren as Helen of Troy.

Yes, you can hit me now.

WHO WOULD BE ACHILLES?

[mark-asphodel.livejournal.com]

Not a fan of Achilles. I'd go the cheap route and make him someone like Harken or Astram. Wrong in many ways, yes, but it expresses how I feel.

I'm amused at this, but possibly more amused at the idea of Hector and Ike actually being brothers. They'd drive poor Uther up a wall.
